Roller Mower Recommendations

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for roller mower recommendations around the 21" size give or take.

 

Have been looking at a few and they all seem to have their good / bad points so interested what people are using and any know issues.

 

Ones I've looked at with comments I've heard are:

 

Honda 536 ... doesn't pick up wet grass well

Lawnflite Pros .... gearbox doesn't last and is £300 to replace

Hayter Harrier 56 ... one dealer said lots of plastic now that breaks .... although he wasn't a Hayter Dealer so wondered if it was sour grapes.

 

Interested in any comments good or bad on any of the above and any others I should be looking at?

We’ve had a Lawnflite for 5 years, used twice a week for around 5-6 hrs.
It’s been excellent. No major parts needed. Would definitely get another one.
TORO also make some reasonable budget/pro mowers around the size you’re after.

Check out weibang...very good collection and nice heavy roller.

 

Funnily enough a name I'd not heard of before and shortly after starting this thread stumbled across thier name.

I found a dealer that stocked most brands so they'd be relatively impartial and most likely to give a genuine recommendation and they couldn't say enough good things about them.

Kubota. Built to last

 

Not heard of these but will start doing a bit of research!

 

Have also come across the Stiga that are more "competitively" priced than some of the others but they have a hybrid Ali/Steel deck which I have some reservations about  .... any ideas how this might compare to a fulll ali deck  ... link below

 

WWW.STIGA.COM

Self-propelled lawnmower with 163 cc petrol engine suitable for cutting and collecting grass clippings with a supplied 80 litre grass collector.

The lawnflite and the Honda are the same machines with different handles and stickers....

the pro kubota is the same as well, and the Kaaz and the cobra.....l

Yes loads like it with different stickers and boxes coming off the same production lines. It’s ok when it’s a good product like those mowers not so much when it’s crap stuff!
